Welcome

Nice addition to LIGO article on the future. Would be interesting to know what it would take to build the LIGO 2 instrument. Longer baselegs - better mirror systems - less background vibrations - coorelations among more instruments - or...?

Thanks - Williamborg 13:57, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

Adding a reference

Hi, Mssgill. Many thanks for your contributions. The easy way to add references in proper format is described in the videos at Help:Referencing_for_beginners#Inserting_a_reference. You can be competent and confident about adding references in ten minutes thanks to the clear instruction in the videos. AAVSO is in my watchlist. If you don't get a chance to add the ref, I'll add it within the next few days. Take care, DocTree (ʞlɐʇ·ʇuoɔ) WER 05:20, 13 October 2015 (UTC)

Trump

You probably have an extension which inadvertently vandalized the Donald Trump article.LM2000 (talk) 20:04, 22 July 2016 (UTC)

@LM2000: I am so sorry -- i did not mean for that to occur at all, did not realize that plugin would interfere with the editing, i had only wanted to make that one tiny grammar edit. Appreciate your message, and will be much more careful in the future. I am actually using a different browser (without that plugin) to make this current edit. Thanks for explaining what happened.

More than three years later and the problem persists: [1] - MrX 🖋 13:35, 8 February 2020 (UTC)

Oh - damn again. I didn't think of this, as I have rarely (i.e. almost never) been editing any directly political pages. If I do so again, I will turn off that plugin in my browser first, then make the edit. Thank you for pointing this up, apologies again, and I will make all efforts to prevent this in future edits.

Ironically, your plug in even mangled this section. I have to ask: what is the purpose of such an extension? - MrX 🖋 16:00, 8 February 2020 (UTC)

Hah - I didn't even *think* about that (but at least it's not public!). I've now edited the 2 accidentally changed instances above, the only ones I see on this page (AND I'm using a different "non-Drumpfinator" browser (Chrome vs. Firefox, which I normally use) just to make sure). As to the why, I simply point you to this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump_(Last_Week_Tonight) (had some trouble inserting link properly because of the special paren characters, not sure how to do that properly, but apparently just pasting URL in straight at least shows the link to the page), in case you've not seen the reasoning before. Both sorry and thx again. Mssgill (talk) 16:07, 8 February 2020 (UTC)
